I came across this Chinese web article. It shows a 12 yr old Chinese girl before and after applying make up. Everyone is so amazed that a 12yr girl can apply make up like a professional. I on the other hand is wondering why her parents are allowing this to happen. She is a little girl and she needs to live the life of a little girl until she is at least old enough to drive. I don't know if this is happening in U.S.A. or other countries, but this is not helping China's image at the moment.

I will definitely miss this year the most. So many positive things has happen, especially during the final quarter. I am optimistic for the new year. I can't for it to start. New job and new plans for another blasian baby. =0) This blasian will be a dragon just like his/her daddy, meaning me. I can not wait to see you when you are finally born. That day will be the 3rd most joyous day of my life; first one being my wedding day, and second being my first born.

Hi! ^.^ My name is Jasmine, but feel free to call me Jazzie if ya want to. I'm 19 years old ( I feel so old. Grrrrrr.) I'm going to be a freshman in college next fall ( I took time off to work and I got kept back in the 9th grade for acting a clown.) Anyway, I never dated an Asian guy, but I have flirted with a few and I have to say, I love the feeling I get when I'm with one. I'm from New Orleans,LA but I live in Dothan, AL. Ugh! The Bible Belt. It's ok. ^.^ I hope to have fun here. ^.^

It's interesting... I can go to any book store or college campus and am guaranteed to find audio books/classes on the spanish, french, german languages. Although more seldom, I still can find classes on korean, chinese, japanese language. I honestly have not been able to find one single physical class to teach me Tagalog (language of the Philippines). I have looked in two separate states without any luck. I've found a book here and there, but I want a physical class.

Can you believe that I once dread being asked the question of "Where do you see yourself in 5 years"?

Back then I did not see too far into my future; I was fresh out of college and didn't know what I wanted in life nor what to expect from it. All that changed after I married my wife. Nothing said success like a good woman standing beside her man. No I am not sexist; but I do believe that a man's duty has to be in the forefront of providing for his family. Now with a ever growing family, I am even more happy and eager to do better.

When I saw this video, it really hit home for me. I can't help but to think of my little girl. I hope she would never have to experience racism like this anywhere during her life time. This is one of the reason why I do not go back to or go on vacation in China; when there is a tight nitch of any one group of people in one area, those people tend to be very close-minded.

I'm a firm believer of positive energy and making a difference in the world. When it comes to our personal lives it's not so easy especially when what you want in a partner goes against the "norm" of what others perceive is the right way. That includes our loved ones especially. I've seen so many times where family members and friends go out of their way to ruin a relationship, especially interracial ones. Why? Because they don't think it's right or because black women are turning their backs on black men or for whatever other reasons they can come up with.
